Chapter 380 - 380. Molok (1/2)
''There were seven hidden cities like this one. But unfortunately, we have been found. The hiding plate didn't work today anyway. It was loosing its power somehow. We knew earlier or later we will lose our last sanctuary. That means we all will be met death before even getting stronger.'' She pushed the small plant towards Kendra and saw her surprised face. ''This is our last tree of life. If this dies, there will be no more hope for humanity on this continent.''
Kendra looked at the plant and at first, didn't see anything strange, but Isaa had suddenly an idea. ''It has some life energy. Elder, didn't say this small plant has its own intelligence?''
The old woman nodded. ''If animals and bugs can have intelligence, who said other forms of life can't. Plants are basic lifeform in every world. Every continent made anywhere on the planet has its own plant that has at least basic intelligence. Protecting the life of the plant it's needed to protect the continent itself. It took us many decades to find this plant and protect it. Somehow the soul of the continent is tightly tied to the plant. And it holds the continent togetehr with invisible ties.''
Kendra hit her head. ''I sent Tak away. If I knew this before, I would have... sigh. I am happy now. It seems I know what to do next. Let me see the plant.''
Isaa carefully pushed the potted plant towards Kendra and she carefully touched stem of the plant and closed her eyes. Isaa shook her head and motioned to everyone to be quiet.
Everyone anxiously looked at Kendra's face that first became dark, then red then strangely green. She opened her eyes that turned into rainbow colours and slowly turned normal again. ''It is crying for all the plants that died. I promised it to replan this world. I'll ask the special creatures to help reconstruct the world, to make it livable again. Elder, give me the hiding plate, Ill see what is the problem.''
The old woman pushed the thing towards her again and waited.
Kendra looked at the runes and it was already night, as she sighed. ''I found the problem. And I know who caused the problem.'' Her eyes rose towards the young woman and smiled sarcastically. ''Will you stop pretending. Where is the child now?''
The young woman's face became arrived as she wanted to hug her grandmother, but found herself in a strange membrane thing, that surrounded her body. ''What is this? Grandmother, help me.''
The old woman looked ta Kendra and then at the girl. ''What is going on? What are you doing to my granddaughter?''
Isaa smiled and then turned her head towards Colah. ''Can you please tell us what kind of creature is this?''
Colah changed its structure and turned into millions of eyes for a moment, scaring everyone in the room. They stepped further away, as they never met such a strange creature before.
He scoffed as he turned towards Kendra. ''I told you about many creatures in my world. My kind is one of lower creatures but his kind is worse than Sokk. Molok lives by sucking living essences of nearby creatures, without them even knowing it. After that they lay eggs into the bodies and the larvae eats the creature from inside out away.''
Kendra knew that in her other world were many strange insects, that had same or similar abilities. But still hearing about it, her body got covered by goosebumps and she shook her head. ''But it seems it is intelligent. How is he considered lower being?''
